just thought I would throw this out there in case someone knows someone who knows someone...

my cousin has a lot of questionable "friends" who "own" dogs (read: keep them in crates 24/7 or neglect them completely) and he is always trying to look out for their best interests. My cousin's heart is in the right place but he doesn't always know how to help.

His friend wanted to get rid of his 150 lb Rottie who lives in his crate ALL day, so my cousin took him in and asked for my help. He can't have dogs in his apartment so I am trying to find a rescue/person to adopt him.

I will have some pics later...he's not neutered, very playful/sweet, has basic obedience and loves people. He's 150 pounds of love

If anyone has any interest, please let me know. He is in Rochester, NY right now.

I know-he's soooo cute and just the biggest mush you would ever meet! I don't think he's ever been played with or walked

All he wants to do is love you all over.

Joyce, I have a contact at a rottie rescue who I have been talking to and providing info to...but they are full. She is spreading the word in hopes of finding a foster home. Do you know of any rescues in or near Rochester?

I don't really know how he is with other dogs...I walked him yesterday and we passed another dog and he seemed eager to play (I think)-tail wagging (no hackles), pulling, definitely interested. The other dog growled at him and it didn't seem to phase him a bit-he was still all giddy When I called his name (Jordan) he stopped and came back to me...

He is a big baby with NO leash manners, but seems very easy to train and he listens well. I hope this helps-I'm sorry I don't have more info. He was basically left in his crate 24/7 and I don't think he has ever been walked or played with. When I let him out of his crate initially he just stood there...then he licked me, sat next to me and then layed on me. When he realized I was paying attention to him he was like, "really? me? really?" and he got all puppy on me and started to act silly. He is a really good boy, just lacking a good owner and some manners!

jodi,Just wanted to give you a quick update. Jordan is in need of some better social skills with other dogs and so he is going to training right now through the adopter who is not going to give up on him, Eileen is great and is willing to work with him to get him to where he needs to be. Most of it is probably his unneutered status, and the fact he probably has not been around dogs much before, so I am sure it will get better within the next month once neutered and trained.

Thanks for the update-I'm sorry, I don't get on here as much as I would like so I am just seeing this! I'm glad she is going to work with him, he really is a sweet boy
